In short: Seaside goers cheer you on, so rewarding,In full: Having so many people cheer you on is great and as it was a hot day they were much needed too, easy enough for friends and family to come see you and have a good day out too beside the seaside. Was a day for coming well prepared with good hydration. Loved being able to see most of the course from 2 miles in until 2 from the end. Flat and demanding of patience and will power I really enjoyed it, as did our club. That last hill was the biggest menace for most...Date of review: September 29, 2014

In short: WELL ORGANISED MOSTLY FLAT RACE - JUST TURN OFF THE SUN PLEASE!In full: This is a great half marathon. First time I'd attempted it. Was hoping for a PB but oh no - the sun came out in anger. It was absolutely boiling HOT on the way out, so hot that most people were walking by the time we hit the 5 mile marker. Once you managed to struggle all the way along the seafront to Hythe, you turned around to find yourself running into a headwind (which was much better but not really pleasant). The support from the local people was huge and very welcome. Folkestone Rotary Club and Nice Work had the best marshals and helpers I've ever seen. Everyone was friendly and encouraging. Some marshals even rode bikes along offering water in bottles as it was that hot. Great organisation. Date of review: September 29, 2014

In short: Enjoyable first half marathonIn full: My first half marathon and without a doubt I will do it next year. Lovely scenery I was snapping pictures as I went along. Brilliant outward journey with wind behind you but the return not so good with wind in your face and a rather nasty sting in the tale at the end with Remembrance Hill - aptly named! Great atmosphere and marshals Date of review: September 30, 2013

In short: A great entry into half marathon running.In full: This was my first ever half marathon race so I was a little apprehensive going into it, I needn't have been as the organisers and marshals were fantastic. The flow of information was good and there was kind of a festive feel to it all. The course is pretty much flat except for a killer hill at the end. I would gladly forsake my box of cup-a-soup in the "Goodie-bag" for chip timing next year!!Date of review: September 30, 2013
